[PATCH v2 5/8] EDAC/aspeed: Free the mem_ctl_info unconditionally on remove
From: Ryan Chen
Date: Sun Aug 23 2026 - 22:49:13 EST
aspeed_remove() is a driver .remove callback, so it only runs for a device
that has already probed successfully and registered its mem_ctl_info. In
that case edac_mc_del_mc() always returns the same, valid pointer, and the
NULL check on its return value can never be false.
Fetch the mem_ctl_info from the platform device's driver data instead and
free it unconditionally, dropping the redundant check. This also decouples
the teardown from the return value of edac_mc_del_mc().
